The Forum at Brookside
The Forum at Brookside offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care in Louisville, KY, in the Griffytown neighborhood. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private apartment, while independent living is for private living with community services and no daily care. Respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care arrangements may suit a resident whose needs change over time.
The community has 24 beds, creating a small setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Housing options include studios, one-bedroom residences, and two-bedroom residences. A studio provides a single private space, while a two-bedroom can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet when moving in. Sara Shaw serves as the administrator.
